Rajnish Khanna, Ph.D.
Senior Investigator, Biology
BioRajnish Khanna, M.Sc. Ph.D., is a photobiologist and entrepreneur focused on nutrition, health, and sustainable practices. He is a Senior Investigator at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University, the founder and CEO of the agricultural technology company, i-Cultiver, Inc., and co-founder and Executive Director of “Urban Green Project”. He holds positions as adjunct faculty in biology at the Contra Costa Community College. Khanna leads research and development in agriculture, focusing on product efficacy trials and sustainable growing practices. Khanna's work emphasizes bridging the gap between academic agricultural research and its practical application for farmers, focusing on technologies and data to improve global agro-ecology projects. He obtained his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Plant Molecular Biology) from Purdue University. Khanna applies photobiology to explore the science of consciousness. He has developed a unique and testable “Theory of Spatial Relativity” exploring the origins of consciousness. He is the host of the TerreScience podcast/YouTube channel, which focuses on soil and planetary health, and on the science of consciousness. For a full bio, visit (www.rajnishkhanna.com).
Khanna collaborates with Dr. Ulrich Kutschera, both are former members of the Winslow Briggs-Lab at Stanford University, see "Stanford Profile Winslow R. Briggs" (https://profiles.stanford.edu/winslow-briggs?tab=publications). Khanna and Kutschera continue research on "Evolutionary Plant Physiology & Photomorphogenesis" via the publication of peer-reviewed papers inspired by and dedicated to the memory of their former mentor, see "In memory of Winslow R. Briggs" (http://www.evolutionsbiologen.de/winslow-r-briggs.html"). -
Makrand Khanwale
Physical Science Research Scientist, Mechanical Engineering
BioI received my PhD from Iowa State University co-majoring in Mechanical engineering and Applied Mathematics. I was co-advised by Dr. Baskar Ganapathysubramanian and Dr. James Rossmanith. For my dissertation I worked on development and analysis of numerical schemes for high fidelity simulations of multiphase flows. Specifically I developed energy stable numerical methods to simulate two-phase flows using Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes equations. I also have experience in development of tools to analyse and understand complex physical processes like multi-phase flows and turbulence. Before joining Iowa State for my graduate work, I had a brief stint as a research associate in Dr. Krishnaswamy Nandakumar‘s group in Louisiana State University (LSU). At LSU I worked on developing theoretical models for energy cascades in multi-phase flows.
